I have 2 daughters and my husband and I are having to help with our niece and nephew. they are staying with us 3-4 nights a week. our niece acts out really bad doesn't listen to adults at all basically thinks she can do her own thing .... how can I help discipline while she's at my house ? because her attitude is affecting our whole family

It's hard to answer such a question because it's mostly a matter of attitude: some people take the attitude that they are smarter than children and the children will do whatever they tell them to do. That works, but it's tough trying to explain an attitude in words. Of course, part of the attitude is a firm hand on the kid's collar until the kid gets the idea that cooperation is required. I raised a boy and a girl and never needed any sort of "discipline" with either of them, but if their mother was present they were uncontrollable. That is the difference that attitude makes.
